Recognize and generate simple equivalent fractions, e.g., 1/2 = 2/4, 4/6 = 2/3. Explain why the fractions are equivalent, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.

This measurement and data lesson covers how to find the area of rectilinear shapes. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students will split the rectilinear shape into rectangles, find the area of each rectangle, and then find the area of the rectilinear shape by adding the areas of each rectangle.

This measurement and data lesson covers how to find the area of rectangles using multiplication. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students will identify the side lengths or a rectangle, and then multiply to find the area and interpret the result.

Recognize and create simple equivalent fractions, e.g., 1/2 = 2/4, 4/6 = 2/3. Explain why the fractions are equivalent, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.

This number and operations--fractions lesson teaches students how to generate equivalent fractions. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students will create equivalent fractions. This lesson focuses on changing a fraction to another. Students are provided a variety of strategies and support to visualize the equivalence. Real-world examples are also provided.

This measurement and data lesson requires students to solve problems by applying the area and perimeter formulas for rectangles. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students are taught the formulas for area and perimeter and then are given word problems and diagrams and asked to find the perimeter and/or area. Students are also required to read a word problem and determine whether they need to solve for area or perimeter based on the given information.

This math lesson teaches students how to calculate the area of a rhombus. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for standardized assessments. In this lesson, students will identify a rhombus and use one of two methods (the product of base and height or one-half the product of the diagonals) to calculate its area. In addition to the lesson, there are two pages of independent practice and three pages of periodic review with questions modeled after standardized assessments.

This number sense lesson focuses on computing exponents. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the problem, identifying the base and the exponent. Then, they rewrite the exponent as a repeated multiplication, find the product, and interpret it. In addition to the lesson, there are nine pages of Independent Practice and Periodic Reviews with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This geometry lesson covers how to solve problems for the area and circumference of a circle. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students identify the given information and determine which formula to use. Then, they substitute the given information into the formula and solve. Finally, they interpret the answer.

This measurement and geometry lesson focuses on computing the area of irregular two-dimensional figures. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students divide the irregular figure into common shapes, such as triangles and rectangle or circles. Then, they compute the areas of the common shapes and the sum of all the areas. In addition to the lesson, there are six pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This measurement and geometry lesson focuses on computing the perimeter and area of two-dimensional figures. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the problem and circle whether you are solving for perimeter, circumference, or area. Then, write the formula needed to solve the problem. Finally, substitute the known values into the formula and solve the equation. In addition to the lesson, there are six pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This math lesson teaches students how to calculate the area of a composite figure. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for standardized assessments. In this lesson, students will identify the common geometric figures that make up a composite figure and then sum the separate areas to find the area of the whole. In addition to the lesson, there are two pages of independent practice and three pages of periodic review with questions modeled after standardized assessments.

This math lesson teaches students how to calculate the surface area of a prism. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for standardized assessments. In this lesson, students will identify the bases and sides of a prism, calculate their separate areas and sum the separate areas to find the surface area. In addition to the lesson, there are two pages of independent practice and three pages of periodic review with questions modeled after standardized assessments.
